Sixteen middle and high school students from Spring Branch ISD have been named regional winners in the annual Scholastic Art competition sponsored by the Harris County of Department of Education. Top student works now vie in Scholastic's national contest for a chance to be named one America's top talents.

Like many campuses here, Spring Woods Middle School conducted an annual donation for families in need. The event at Spring Woods Middle was organized by Principal Cynthia Chai and Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church's adult volunteer program director and former SBISD staff member Mary Card and church members and volunteers. The church volunteers are integral to the middle school's highly successful mentoring program.

New York Times best-selling Author, Jodee Blanco, visited Memorial Middle School on Jan.13. She spoke with students, teachers and parents about problems related to bullying, and gave tips on preventing or stopping bullying situations.

Intern Donations

Interns from The Guthrie Center collected donations for the Westside Homeless Partnership. Thank you to eveyone who participated and made this event a success.
